Appendix B Topology Standalone The physical size and the number of topological elements in a 100BASETX network is limited primarily by round-trip collision delay to 205 meters. That is while the 100BASE-TX has 10 times faster bit rate than 10BASE-T, its duration of the JAM sequence is, therefore, 10 times shorter (note: A JAM is a signal, in Ethernet, generated by a network interface to let other interfaces in the network know that a collision has happened.).
PAGE 37
Topology For example, internal local traffic such as that generated by a manufacturing department can be easily handled by a single 10 Mbps connection. However, when the manufacturing department needs access to the corporate database, the traffic could travel over a 100BASE-TX connection, thereby increasing the speed of transmission. With the increase in available bandwidth when using 100BASE-TX connections, there will be faster response times from the server.

Appendix C Glossary 10BASE2—Also called thinnet Ethernet, thinnet or CheaperNet, a 10 MHz baseband specification. Cable impedance is 50 Ω and maximum coaxial segment length is 185 meters (607 ft.). 10BASE5—Also called thick Ethernet, a 10 MHz baseband specification. Cable impedance is 50 Ω and maximum coaxial segment is 500 meters (1,640 ft.). The cable is commonly referred to as yellow cable. Thick Ethernet cable is typically used as a trunk or backbone path of the network. 10BASE-FL—IEEE 802.
PAGE 40
Glossary BACKUP MODULE— A repeater that behaves as the management module when the Master fails in a department concentrator. BASEBAND COAXIAL SYSTEM—A system whereby information is directly encoded and impressed on the coaxial transmission medium. At any point on the medium, only one information signal at a time can be present without disruption. BAYONET NUT COUPLE (BNC) CONNECTOR—A 10BASE2 thin coax connector with push-on BNC locking lug that quickly locks into place with a half twist.
PAGE 41
AT-TS90TR 10Base-T Switch With 100Base-T Access CROSS-OVER—Wiring is used when connecting a 10BASE-T MAU to another 10BASE-T MAU or a 10BASE-T hub to another 10BASE-T hub. For example, one 10BASE-T MAU would have the TD pair on the same pins as another 10BASE-T MAU. If pins were wired straight, there would be two transmitters on one pair with no receiver. Therefore, the cross-over cable crosses the TD pair with the RD pair of UTP cable connecting the TD pins on one end to the RD pins at the other end.
PAGE 42
Glossary IMPEDANCE—An electrical characteristic of a circuit dealing with the combination of the AC and DC resistance and the appearance of that resistance to attached circuits. JABBER LOCK-UP—The MAU’s ability to automatically inhibit the transmit data from reaching the medium if the transmit data time exceeds a specified duration. This duration is in the range of 20 ms to 150 ms. Jabber lock-up protects the medium from being overrun with data packets from a possibly defective device.
PAGE 43
AT-TS90TR 10Base-T Switch With 100Base-T Access MEDIUM DEPENDENT INTERFACE (MDI)—The mechanical and electrical interface between the trunk cable medium and the MAU. MDI-X is another version of the interface that enables like devices to connect, using different pin-outs, avoiding conflicts that occur when receiving and transmitting packets use the same pin-out. MODULE—A single repeater when it is mounted with other repeaters in an AT-36Cx or AT-36Ex department concentrator chassis.
PAGE 44
Glossary RJ45—This connector is a 10BASE-T standard for connecting UTP cabling. They are inexpensive and easy to install onto UTP cable. SIGNAL QUALITY ERROR (SQE)—Also referred to as Collision or Collision Presence. This occurs when two devices attempt to transmit at the same time which is an illegal condition.
PAGE 45
AT-TS90TR 10Base-T Switch With 100Base-T Access UNSHIELDED TWISTED PAIR (UTP)—A cable used in 10BASE-T wiring that consists of at least two twisted pairs of 22 to 26 AWG wire. The pairs should have at least 3 twists per foot and have an impedance of 100 Ω. Level 3 and Level 4 UTP cable generally fits these criteria.
